The Biden economy may have been a success for the top 25% and the corporations that ended up getting most of the money allocated for those programs the millionaire members of Congress love patting themselves on the back about, but to continue the pretense it was anything other than tossing alms to the peasants has gone beyond annoying.
They are just trying to make the bottom drop out of the market as a shock reaction to whatever BS they spew each day, buy up a bunch of stock, and then let it bounce back up. They are getting richer by the day by stripping every function of a democracy.
"Takebacks" brings to my mind "Indian giver," a term no longer acceptable. All I can think of is "temporary giver," which is awkward. "Temporary taker," same thing. That's my takeaway. I'm "gifting" it to the World.
Just a quick note, your chart shows auto jobs peaking under Joe Biden and rising since 2009, so that's the opposite of a yearslong decline in auto jobs. Okay bye!
The Tariff announcements are shakedowns for American CEOs to $$ for Mar a Motel dinners and "donate" to the Illiterates Library or buy Turds bitcoin or LieSocial stock and only then will the Ts be suspended until the 1month deadline for the next payments. Watch how oftwn the auto CEOs go to the Golf Motel now.
My spouse received a letter from the VA cancelling an appointment for his annual checkup. It said someone would call to reschedule. Not only will this delay his annual assessment of his disabilities, which include one directly linked to toxic burn pit exposure, it will also delay possible changes to his disability %. Delaying a percentage change for one vet seems so insignificant until you realize it's a delay for all of them. This isn't solely about privatizing the VA, but also delaying or denying disability increases. The longer they can put off veterans getting assessed or reassessed, the less money they have to pay out in the meantime. But Republicans should tell me again how much Diaper Donny loves veterans.
Thank you for pointing out the additional effects of delayed assessments. This infuriates me. No one who served our country deserves this. All my best to you and yours.
Doug “get used to it” Collins, and Trump and Musk, are not getting the basic principle here: We the People are their Boss. Somehow (there’s the challenge) we need to educate them.
Adding to my list of infuriating facts most media don’t bother to mention: 1) Trump is out there slamming the trade deal HE NEGOTIATED! 2) If SS is rife with fraud, Trump Admin sure doesn’t seem interested in bringing any lawsuits to prove its point.
“Methuselah, Galactus, and Vandal Savage.” You are clearly a man of culture.

You are the bomb.
We Canadians relish a good laugh, whilst we are fending off annexation.
Thanks for all you are doing to buoy our spirit.

Incredibly hilarious insight. I'm surviving this horror show on as many doses of you and Heather Cox Richardson that I can devour. Keep it coming.
Aw, thanks, Peter! That's rarefied company for this humble Newsfucker. Much appreciated.
This one especially (for some reason) had me laughing. Thank you for making the buffoonery easier to digest.
Help, I have whiplash from all the back n' forth. What a maroon. Which is the least of Trump's problems.

I should've been clearer in my sarcasm! Thank you for flagging, I'll go back and juice up the sarcasm...
I totally didn’t get it! You know me, non-sarcasm-understander!

Welcome to California. If you and your boy make it up to SONOMA COUNTY, give a holla!
Aw, thank you! Right now looks like the furthest north we'll be is San Francisco, but thank you!
OK, I read the comments and didn't see it...best laugh was repatriating potash mines...TY

Not voodoo economics, but yoyo economics... ugh
I think the 'doge' bracket might even kick it down another notch, to YOLO economics
